SCB Park (Siam Commercial Bank Park) is home to a collection of stunning office buildings and a decent selection of chain restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores. Parking is free if you remember to get your parking ticket stamped (ประทับตรา) otherwise it’s about 30 baht per hour.
Bangkok has many beautiful modern buildings and Siam Commercial Bank (ธนาคารไทยพาณิชย์) has an absolutely stunning lobby area that demands a good SLR camera and wide angle lens.
Unfortunately for us, most banks and commercial buildings don’t allow “professional” photography and so we snapped some photos using an iPhone 4. The results aren’t perfect but we hope that you’ll enjoy them all the same.
The SCB Learning Center is located at the SCB Park Plaza on Ratchadapisek Road. The center includes a small library open to the public, and training facilities for SCB employees. The library is small but well-managed and pleasant to use.
The library (ห้องสมุดธนาคารไทยพาณิชย์) has a good selection of textbooks, journals, newspapers, annual reports, and CD ROMs. Publications are available in Thai and English, but most are available in Thai only.
The compact library is located in a single room on the ground floor. A staircase leads to a computer lab and training facilities for SCB employees only. The library has a good choice of modern books and has free internet for all visitors – contact the information desk for more information. Lending services are limited to SCB employees only.
